Are they saying Andrew Mackie is going to come up here as a rookie or something and then be a coach?

700k a year for 2, player coach.

Apparently some suns group of fb.
Things may have changed I guess, but last I heard Chris Scott said that Mackie would be at the Cats in an off field role next year. Trade radio also said he would be staying at Geelong in a list management/recruitment role.

Reckon it would be all over the media if he was about to come out of retirement in the next few weeks

My early thoughts are that the Melbourne media has too much focus on Vic Metro, which didn't perform that well as a team against the Allies, who themselves fielded 10 Gold Coast Suns Talent Academy players. That said, Jarrod Brander seems to be the kind of smokey I'd like at #19 and love at #40. As far as I'm concerned, picking as many of the Academy players should be the focus.

Haven't followed U18s a lot this season - but if Sam Hayes ( Ruckman /Forward ) drops to 19 he'd be my pick. He'll be a reinforcement if our Captain chooses to move on. Hayes 202cm 92 kg . I think a better key forward than ruckman.
Saw him as an under-ager most impressive.
Think we will be going big this draft also getting local Crossley 197cm 100kg (Ruckman/ Forward)
Can't understand how Vic Media mock drafts have us continually picking small mids, small forwards and running half backs....
(running half backs - not big in a Sydney game plan ? )

You don't need a top 10 pick to recruit a gun. Look at what happened this year with Sam Powell-Pepper at Port. He was taken with pick 18.

I'm sure every Gold Coast supporter would be ecstatic if the club found another SPP at pick 19 this year. Also, Craig Cameron better do the right thing next year and effectively utilise Gold Coast's two likely top 10 picks in the supposed '18 super draft. He better get to work on convincing Bailey Scott to stay on the Gold Coast as well. Then you add the continuing process of setting up the Suns AFLW team. Big job for him in 2018.

Worpel at 41 would be a great get.
At 19?
Likely to be some good players on the board to choose from.
Someone will likely slip down the order a bit.

No doubt like every club says whoever we get will be a steal at 19, in fact we were going to use pick 2 on INSERT NAME HERE if we still had it

I see in Brett Anderson’s mock draft he just released he has taking the following:

Pick 19 : Charlie Ballard
Pick 42 : Noah Balta
Pick 52 : Brandon Starcevich
Pick 55 : Noah Answerth
Pick 56 : Brayden Crossley
Pick 73 : Brahden Ainsworth

That could get very confusing with Brahden, Brandon & a couple of Braydens, together with Answerth & 2 Ainsworths. I'm already confused by all the variations of Jarryd we had last year.
